Mason Greenwood's late winner earned Manchester United a 1-0 win at wasteful Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Sunday, breaking the record for the longest unbeaten away run in English Football League history in the process.
Greenwood's low strike 10 minutes from time was decisive after Wolves had missed a host of chances throughout the match as United made it 28 unbeaten on the road in the league, beating Arsenal's record set between April 2003 and September 2004.
United's Jadon Sancho, who had a quiet full debut, was replaced in the second half as they went in search of the winner, with home-grown youngster Greenwood netting his third goal in as many games to snatch all three points. "They said before the season started they will look for contact - if the contact is strong enough, they will give the foul. I showed my leg to the ref, I showed to the assistant ref. I cannot say anything more. It is a clear foul."The atmosphere among both sets of fans was buzzing pre-match, with Wolves supporters presented with new signing Hwang Hee-chan to rapturous applause, while United's following sang the name of imminent arrival, Cristiano Ronaldo, non-stop.
United were carved open time and again by Adama Traore's pace on the break, with Raul Jimenez, on his first home start since fracturing his skull late last year, denied by De Gea. Traore continued to be a thorn in United’s side after the interval, with the Spaniard squaring for Trincao midway through the half but, with all the time in the world, the Wolves new boy scuffed his effort wide.
